Default Few subtle mods carried out in just under 2 hours

Looks way better mate

I'm looking into doing mine, but the silver coated indicator bulbs seems little dimmer than the standard ones, so I'm a bit reluctant to use them

Looks much better.

Add a nice front splitter and a set of wheel spacers to finish it off.

Tubbytommy, that's looks well smart! Have to get that splitter next. Your number plates tiny how have you got away with that lol

Its not to bad in the oven I was sat on the floor infront of it opening it ever couple of mins. I was scared to the first one just incase they started to warp etc but was fine! 2nd one was easy

Well done mate.
It feels nice in the debaged/detangoed club, doesn't it.
